Make that 15 wins and counting in one-score games for the Kansas City Chiefs after Sunday night\u2019s 19-17 victory at home against the Los Angeles Chargers.<\/p>\n

As with many a Chiefs matchup this year, the game came down to the very final second as kicker Matthew Wright doinked in a 31-yard walk-off field goal to seal it for the newly crowned AFC West champions.<\/p>\n

Chiefs star Travis Kelce helped run down the clock late in the game with a pivotal catch to secure a fresh set of downs, finishing the night with five receptions for 45 yards. He made some cool NFL history in the process and became the fastest tight end to reach 12,000 career receiving yards (172 games), besting Tony Gonzalez\u2019s previous record of 210 games.<\/p>\n

\u201cWay to see it, way to make a play, man,\u201d Kelce said when asked what he and Mahomes tell each other after clutch plays. \u201cIt fires you up when you can seal the game like that at the end, it\u2019s always a little scary knowing that you\u2019re down a point having to kick a field goal, I\u2019m way more comfortable trying to score a touchdown there, but that\u2019s just me.\u201d<\/p>\n
